the most useful feature of the product is object imaging. It is the champion in the world of RDBMS.

What is most valuable?

  • Slabs and memory management
  • Users' privileges management
  • Real time monitor: performance charts and graphs
  • WX2 Console's "Analyse Problem Queries"
  • Multi Parallel Processing capability: able to specify number of threads to use, number of cores, etc., depending on the size of a job.

I have especially found the feature of being able to create tables entirely on disk, entirely on RAM, or both, useful; a mixed storage architecture. However, the most useful feature of the WX2/KAP product is object imaging; the heart of the product with respect to superb database-query performance. In the world of RDBMS, WX2/KAP is, I believe, the champion, or should be if not already!

How has it helped my organization?

Analysts were able to develop complex queries and analyse huge amounts of data returned, in the same breath, as how one would define big data; within minutes if not seconds.
